my enemy’s enemy is my friend
a phrase used in the united states foreign policy since
the end of the spanish-american war/roosevelt corollary (1898-1902) meaning :
as long as i (or my country) have a common enemy with a given person (or other country) i will take the risk that this friend (or allied country) of mine might later betray me.
jason: james my man, i am doing a poli sci paper for school and am not sure what would be an appropriate epitome of the phrase my enemy’s enemy is my friend.
james: the perfect epitome of this phrase would be imho, ask henry kissinger, one of the best experts of us foreign policy.
